My face is affected by acne scars, pitted scars, sun spots and general redness. Going on my third session this month

is there any legit working acne cream that actually removes acne?

Oxy5, Lion Pair Acne Cream (japanese brand)

Anyone has an aesthetics clinic to recommend that sells Pico Laser in packages of 3 or 4 treatments? My pigmentation doesn’t require any more than 3-4 sessions max, but the ten plus clinics I’ve enquired are all selling packages 6/8/10+ sessions. That’s a crazy overkill for just sun-spot pigmentation! I’ve already had consults, I do not have melasma. Just straightforward sun spot pigmentation. Doctors also said 3-4 sessions but sell me things like 10 sessions the heck.

Thanks!!!

is oxy5 and oxy10 good? useless? or bad?

if you used it before, how has it been working out for you?

Ive been seeing people use tret and azelaic acid combo for skin and ive been wanting to try it but i am aware that u cant get tret without a prescription in sg. I am wondering if there was other ways like getting from a supplier that doesnt care abt having a prescription or do i need to get it overseas.

Hi! 20F, I had bad acne since I hit puberty and as a result I have acne scars for more than 10 years. I don't have acne anymore and only get a few pimples when I'm on my period.

I think mine is considered mild-moderate with rolling, boxcar and ice pick, together with hyperpigmentation around my mouth, dark spots from pimples, large pores and uneven skin tone + texture.

I tried to get a referral for NSC through polyclinic for the subsidies but I was rejected because my concerns are considered cosmetic and I only have 2-3 pimples. According to the doctor my skin didn't look "that" bad 😐 What should I do now?? Should I directly get an appointment at NSC or look for a private skin clinic/dermatologist? Which one is more cost effective?

Pls help a girl out I'd be truly grateful!

I already had operation two times, the dermalogist only prescribed me antibiotics. What to do to stop the flare up coming again? Anyone suffer from same condition as me?

I apply my mositurizer on damp skin but after a while I touch my skin it's completely dried off. Should I reapply or is over applying an issue? Or Just leave my skin alone and do it twice a day?

i've been using this pink dark spot cream for about two weeks now and i'm honestly still not sure what to think.

my main issue is those stubborn brown acne marks. not cute freckles or a little dullness. i mean the annoying spots that just sit there for months after a cystic breakout finally dies down. i usually hate trying new skincare brands because half of them feel like they were made to look pretty on instagram rather than actually fix irritated skin.

i stumbled on dr.percent when i was looking for k-beauty dark spot stuff, mostly because i was too impatient to wait for overseas shipping and just wanted something easy to grab.

the cream itself is kinda weird, it's a way darker pink than i expected, but the texture isn't actually that heavy. it's definitely not an overnight miracle (i wouldn't trust anything that claims that anyway). but after putting it on some old acne marks and even some dark patches on my elbows every day, the areas do look a tiny bit more even? not erased, just a little calmer and less dull.

my skin is super reactive, so my biggest fear is always getting new breakouts while trying to fade old ones. so far it hasn't clogged my pores or given me texture, but two weeks isn't really enough time to know for sure.

has anyone here actually used dr.percent for longer than a few weeks? especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin? the amazon reviews are still pretty sparse right now, so i don't want to get my hopes up or judge it too quickly just based on my own short trial.

I always shunned mositurizer because it's greasy on my face and I have OCD so I like to splash water on my face everytime I use the toilet. I do laser treatments once a month and recently notice my face is looking worse than normal (way after recovery period)

I asked AI and it said I shouldn't exfoliate the skin, it will make it worse and redder and hinder progress, and should start using moisturizer twice a day and after shower. I have since started using it and noticed my face calm down alot more.

Hi, does anyone have any product or dermatologist recommendations, mainly enlarged pores and blackheads/sebaceous filaments on nose?

I’ve honestly never seen anyone with blackheads as bad as mine so it’s really affecting my confidence.. Plus I can’t even wear makeup because it makes my skin look 10 times worse 😭

has anyone tried the Allthera double shot or any home use beauty device?

please give me some recommendation on some beauty devices if you use any~

thank you so much in advance!!!

edit: for full face/ under eye

My friend came across an aesthetic clinics recently where they used to do fillers but now they no longer do. Is this common? I thought all aesthetic clinics do fillers
